Life isn't fair.
Stella knew that from the start. Working at an early age with poor treatment, until to the present with still yet the same treatment tired her. She was part of the people that were considered 'unfortunate.' She had no money, no mother, not treated nicely by most people, she was a servant, she was something used.
Unfortunate indeed.
Liam who wasn't part of the unfortunates, couldn't relate to Stella. He had a respected family, he has a respected father, he has money, he gets special treatment, he was someone with power, he was someone respected.
But he knew, he knew, it was just like that because of his position in the military and his father. Without his position, without his father, he wouldn't be acknowledged by many. He wouldn't be respected, because that's all people cared about.
If you're someone known, someone rich, someone attractive, you'll get treated like a god. That's why he despises the world he lives in, because all the world cares about is power.
Opinions will change after he meets a servant named Stella. Relationship will start bumpy at first, with trust issues, anger issues, and small issues they'll both make bigger.
But of course, there's a rainbow that comes after a storm. Their relationship will bloom until feelings arise.
With feelings arising, there will be problems. Threats will come, secrets will dare to reveal themselves, and will Stella be able to answer the question...
"My Beloved or The World?"
"In a world of science and logic, love was never part of the experiment... until her."
For five years, Emma Hayes believed in love. Believed in forever. But forever ended the day she caught her boyfriend of five years cheating-with her best friend.
Now, she's traded heartbreak for a fresh start, moving across the country for a prestigious research job in New York City. Love? Not on the agenda. Science is predictable, measurable, and safe. Unlike emotions.
But then she meets Dr. Sebastian Hale.
Brilliant. Breathtaking. British. A man of few words and even fewer emotions. He's awkward in the most devastatingly attractive way-a genius in the lab but a mystery everywhere else. He avoids eye contact, stumbles over words when she's too close, and disappears the second emotions enter the equation.
But he watches her.
And when late nights at the lab turn into stolen glances, accidental touches, and an undeniable pull that neither of them can explain-Emma realizes that for all his silence, Sebastian might just be the loudest part of her world.
But he has secrets. Walls built so high that even she might not break them. And when Emma's past resurfaces, threatening the fragile connection between them, she's forced to decide: run like she always has, or risk everything for the one person who just might be worth it.
✨ A slow-burn, heart-stopping romance between two opposites drawn together by fate. Perfect for fans of mysterious men, soft but intense chemistry, and love stories that defy the odds.
